the heftiest rainfall amounts will be to the west of the district but still, rain through the day and certainly even if it is not raining, it will be damp today. let's get to the graphics. here is a look at the satellite- radar for the region. can you see there is plenty of cloud cover and much more moisture down to the south and west. as tucker was saying just a short time ago, we still have a ways to go. it will be through the day today and through the night and likely into tomorrow morning. take a look at the temperatures. 51degrees right now in d.c., rather mild. 48 in baltimore. 49 at dulles airport. fredericksburg, 51 degrees. frederick, maryland, 46 degrees. here is your forecast for today. cloudy skies, periods of rain, 5 # for your high. that will be it. we'll have more details for you coming up in just a little bit. >> very good. did you stay up and watch the debacle last night?

>> i watched 10 minutes. i got up early this morning and fast forwarded through the game. even at that, it was amazing. >> let's go now to julie wright. >> i told you guys you should have watched dancing with the stars. no one believed me. i learned how to do the argentine tango. wet pavement is what we're waking up to. tucker had mentioned this early. there is a little bit of fog, a little patchy. the incident at the key bridge cleared and we are looking good in each direction now at the wilson bridge. all lane open coming out of alexandria and oxon hill. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic.

-- all lanes open coming out of alexandria and oxon hill. that's a check of your fox 5 on-time traffic. >> jackson accelerates with the opening play and all the way for a touchdown. >> the eagles wasted little time getting on the scoreboard last night. michael vick hit desean jackson on the first play that. would only be the beginning. >> the eagles would go up by 35 before you know it. dave ross is here to break down all of this for us with a little tuesday morning quarterbacking. what the heck. >> tony said he watched the game in fast forward. that was like the eagle offense all day. the redskins were always like five steps behind, not just one. it was tough to watch. >> it was an embarrassment j the first quarter was embarrassing. at least they didn't quit. that is the one bosstive thing. i didn't think they quit last night. but besides all that, it was a historic night at fedex. unfortunately for the skins, they were on the wrong side of all the history.

the eagles seemingly scoring at will. this one was over as you saw before it ever began. mike shanahan, this is probably the most disappointing thing. they had two weeks to get ready for this game. they did not seem ready from the start. the defense unable to stop michael vick and company. an eagles record 45 points in the first half alone. no matter how many sideline huddles the skins had, they had no answer on this night for the eagles. >> we have a solid team. we have a team mentally strong guys with great character and guys who are willing to sacrifice themselves for the next man. this is one that obviously the cliche of saying we'll watch the film and come back from it. i think this is one that you already know this is fresh in your mind of what happened and you know, you should be anxious to get back out there on wednesday to change this. >> it does not get any easier for the skins at 4-5. they will

go to ten ten and -- go to tennessee and he game is critical. it won't be easy. they have randy moss, they did lose on sunday. we will find out now maybe the big contract that mcnabb had, maybe that will come in handy. you need a leader to step up in that locker room. >> not the best headlines for donovan mcnabb to be smiling on the front page of the post this morning but the headline says 78 million reasons to smile. that ugly loss coming just hours after donovan signed the big contract extension with the redskins, a five-year deal worth $78 million. he might not get all of it but $40 million of that is guaranteed money. make you wonder how much money vick's agent is asking for now. a scandal involving jack

johnson and his wife. nine more people including three county police officers have been arrested in the massive corruption case. sarah simmons joins us with the latest. >> reporter: good morning. after the officers were arrested, the prince george's county police chief coming out with some very strong words saying these are bad people that need to go away. obviously, again, very strong words from the chief after three of his county police officers were arrested yesterday. now, two of the officers arrested are sergeant richard delabrer and corporal chong kim. it started yesterday with agents searching 11 locations including tick-tock liquors. the owner, and his wife and sergeant delabrer and officer kim are among the people charged. investigators claimed the liquor store owners would pay

the officers to ensure safe transport of untaxed cigarettes and alcohol in virginia. they say they are part of the young probe that led to the arrest of jack johnson and his wife, leslie. >> our interest in corruption in this county has been long- standing and long reaching. this has included wiretaps and cooperating individuals. >> reporter: now, a third officer was also indicted here, charged with conspiracy to distribute cocaine and use of firearms for drug trafficking. these officers have been suspended without pay. they could face 20 years as a maximum prison time they could serve if convicted here. at this point, the fbi says this investigation is something that could go back, extend back more than four years possibly. we're live here in prince george's county. sarah simmons, back to you. the man elected to take

over bridge county, rushern baker, spoke out for the first time since the arrest. he says he wants citizens to know his administration will deliver a first class government. >> we are standing together to say to the men and women out there not only who live in bridge county but who are thinking about coming to prince george's county, that our focus will be on the issues we ran on, improving our education system, expanding our tax base by getting businesses to move out here and that we are going to work together. >> he did not make direct comments about the charges facing johnson and his wife. baker will be sworn in as county exec to december 6th. a nightmare for one already heart broken couple. coming up next a man convicted of killing their teenaged son is now suing the mother and father. we'll explain. too close for comfort for some spectatorhecking headlines 5 morning news continues.

sated the police chief of new carrollton has been linked to questionable sale of industry property and a former officer is now talking about it for the first time. >> maureen umeh sat down with him and then confronted the chief in this fox 5 investigation. >> reporter: public auctions happen all the time. the city selling off unused or unneeded property like vehicles. but that is not how things work in the small maryland city of new carrollton. >> some vehicles will be in the back for some reason or another. >> reporter: billy kuda works as a new carrollton police officer from qix to 2009. he says he often noticed impounded vehicle parked behind the police station. a fore-during black acura like this caught his eye back in 2008 so he says he approached his boss, police chief david wright. >> he came back to me and told me that if i wanted the vehicle, it would cost me $2,000. he asked for cash. >> reporter: billy says he paid the money and got a title a day

a public notification before selling them. >> no, public notification. this was before the big thing of trying to get them auctioned off. we had them back there. >> reporter: and when asked about the three vehicles. >> fox 5 put in a freedom of information request. we got three dates showing three cars sold only to billy kuda. they totaled $2,000. >> i know i paid $2,000 to one vehicle and another two vehicles were sold for $4,000. this is totally false. >> reporter: what happened to the money? >> the money is simple. it is $2,000. that is all that was paid for the cars. that's it. >> reporter: so these people are making up the extra amount? >> absolutely. >> reporter: chief rice stands firm he didn't pocket any money and that he was given

permission to sell only those three vehicles by the city administrator. but fox 5 has found there are others. in june 2007, neighboring riverdale park police department agreed to sell six. its cars to new carrollton police at discounted prices. we obtained these bills of sale for the ford crown vic. new carrollton paid with a $500 check and $5,500 in cash. but not all of those vehicles ended up being used by new carrollton police department. we discovered after those cars were bought, only one ended up being titled and registered for government use. a car fax search shows another five police cars registered as commercial vehicles 10 days after being sold to new carrollton police department. so what happened to them? fox 5 found they were sold to the largest cab company in prince george's county, silver cab. owner told us he bought them from chief rice paying with two

different checks. we asked chief rice to provide any documentation showing what happened to those used police cars and any money made from selling them. he said he couldn't comment further due to pending litigation against him. >> is there deception on the part of new carrollton city police department? absolutely. >> that was maureen umeh. we still have a lot more for you on fox 5 morning news. good morning, sarah. >> reporter: three county police officers now arrested in connection with an ongoing corruption probe in prince george's county. i'm sarah simmons and i'll have the latest on that story coming up. the monday night falling at fedex field. the redskins go down to defeat in historic fashion. you are watching fox 5 morning news. we're taking a break and coming right back.

>> take your pick from all the big plays last night. the eagles and skins with a crucial divisional match-up on monday night football but boy, did it get out of hand in a hurry. michael vick had a career game using his arms and legs for a total of six touchdowns. >> this was impressive. it is the talk of the town here and in philly as well. check out this headline in the philadelphia enquirer. it says payback with a picture of michael vick scoring. there you go. >> you know, guys, they said that the eagles were very fired up by what donovan mcnabb had said after the first time they played and remember, after game, he was in the locker room and he said everybody makes mistakes, the eagles certainly made one. that is their payback. they said they were motivated by that. >> dave ross in the studio to talk about it ya. if that what is it takes to moat have a you, so be it.

destroyed by the eagles. 59-28 and that after the eagles shut it down in the third quarter. a record-breaking performance by philly. it is the talk of the town this morning. where do we start, mr. dave ross? >> i don't know, steve. you mentioned records, right? >> let's look at the headline first of all. that is what you are going to find this morning. it says redskins swamped by eagles scoring deluge making a play off of all the rain that fell last night during the game. that follows up the early edition headline which is the smiling donovan mcnabb talking about his contract extension saying 78 million reasons to smile. >> the most points they've ever given up was 73 many moons ago. 59 points after three quarters, like you said, if they didn't let off the old gas pedal there, they could have scored two more touchdowns and gotten to 73. it was an unbelievable way to

start off the donovan mcnabb contract. i don't think they are having buyer's remorse. this is not the game you wanted to debut after that contract. it didn't have a whole lot to do with donovan mcnabb. the first play of the game, desean jackson here. and d hall lets him go. landry is supposed to pick him up. he gets maybe one step behind. that is all take with a gay -- with a guy with that kind of speed. probably the worst first quarter i've ever seen in football. you saw things last night you've never seen before. i thought what was a bigger indictment was after the first quarter, this is the first play of the second quarter. it is already 28-0. when was it going to stop, steve?

it never did. macklin here in the rain, a great athletic, acrobatic catch there and it is 35-0. i didn't think the skins quit. i think there is a difference there. the cowboys as you've seen in some games earlier this year quit. the skins played hard. they scored 28 points. yes, it was window dressing. >> but when you are down five touchdowns, it is tough to come back. >> it is tough for find positives. i mean they didn't quit on their team, teammates or their head coach as we've seen with other teams. >> all right. coming up, dave will be with us all morning. we'll talk about the game all morning including how does anybody in this league try to stop michael vick. straight ahead, all your stop stories and we'll check your commute and your forecast. here is a clue, folks. it will be wet out there. fox 5 morning news is coming right back. we'll see you at 6:00.
